Sorry about no blogging last week. Was watching sausages being made. Here’s a quick roundup of most of the stuff I would have Nibbled.

And on that note, that’s all folks. Because this was such a pain to put together after a week’s hiatus, I’m going to leave it on the front page for a day or two before sending it to the Siberia of the sidebar. Oh and BTW, people. We want to reach 6,000 followers on Twitter, preferably before that jetpack arrives, so follow us already, and tell your hipster friends.

Wait, too needy?

Story goes that Santa used to be green, and that he was recoloured by that soft-drink company. Too true to be good?

We’re recharging our solar-powered batteries for a couple of weeks, back around 6 January 2014. And, however and wherever you are, whatever you are doing, we wish you well. ((I can’t resist a parting shot: let’s make 2014 the year of proper attribution, shall we? I found the picture of old green Santa here. No idea where he found it, and my search fu hasn’t been able to help. The recumbent green Santas I found here, with no hint of where Brian found it. Even though the photo itself contains all the information needed to credit it. So I’ve done that, which means I get to eat my mince pies with a large dollop of smug self-righteousness.))
